Narrator:

Months have passed since Mizu and Seto's first date. They truly loved each other very much and continued to see each other. Also, their businesses were booming. Mizu would give him the chip, Seto will make the portable holographic displays and make a profit, which he will in return give part of it to Mizu. Everything was perfect! Like they lived in a perfect little world. Yet, their thoughts blind and shield them from the overwhelming truth-





Blue Roses in the Wind, Chapter Nine: Troubled Water ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*





"-But SETO!!" cried Mokuba, "You promised!!! You promised to take me to the new arcade in town!!!" "I am so sorry Mokuba." Answered Seto. " But I also promised a date with Mizu, I will take you next week." "But SETO!! That is what you said LAST week!!" "I am truly sorry but I can't just take you anywhere now, I have a girlfriend." "Big Broth-" *Ding-Dong* The bell to the house rang. "Hold on Mokuba." Seto opened the door to see Mizu. "Ready to go on our date Seto?" she asked smiling. "Yeah, sure let me get m-" "No!!" screamed Mokuba. "Seto promised to take me to the Arcade this week!!" "Oh, I didn't know." Said Mizu frowning. "I can understand if you want to take him to the arcad-" "No," said Seto, "I can take him next week, lets go." Seto placed his arm around Mizu and the two walked off. Mokuba watched just long enough to see Mizu, grinning evilly.

What is wrong with Seto now a days? Thought Mokuba in his room. He never plays with me anymore and it is always Mizu this and Mizu that! A small tear rolled off his face. I thought a girlfriend would make us happier, for him to have a friend and for me to know he has one. But instead, it made me sadder. Another tear fell form his face as drops of rain started to fall from the sky. I miss my Big Brother. More tears came from his dark blue eyes. I miss-I miss the old days when it-it was-was just him and me and how-how we- Mokuba covered his face. He couldn't finish the thought. And at that exact moment, the rain fell harder.

"Wow it is starting to rain hard." Said Yugi to his friends. They where all in the Game Corner, a place they usually go after school on a Friday. "Ya." Said Tea, "We should stay here until it stops." "Ya!" agreed everybody. Suddenly, the door to the Game Corner flew wide open as a flash of lightning struck. The lightning outlined a figure covered in darkness. "AHHHHHHHHH!!" screamed Joey and Triston and they grabbed each other. The figure fell into the Shop as Tea and Yugi ran over to it. It was Mokuba. "Mokuba?!" said Joey and Triston at the same time. They looked at each other and soon realized what they were doing. "Get off ME!" the two pushed each other away than ran to Mokuba. "Mokuba are you alright?" asked Yugi. "Yugi." Said Mokuba, his eye barley opened. "Quickly, let us get him upstairs." The four raced to take him upstairs.

The group dried off Mokuba and gave him some hot broth to warm himself. "What were ya doing out in that Storm?" Asked Joey. "You could have caught a cold or something." "I know, but-" "But what?" asked Yugi. "I wanted to know if you had noticed something different about Seto lately." "Ya, he's spending all his time with Mizu." Said Tea with disgusted. "I can't believe that, Seto actual got a girlfriend. Yuck!" "Ya, he is not doing too well school either." Added Triston. "Huh?" "Ya, like on one test, I was cheatin- I mean checking my answers with his, you know to make sure that mine-I mean his were right and you know what he wrote all over his paper? MIZU!" "Glad I didn't copy his" murmured Joey. "Ya, it seems like Seto is Mizu crazy!" said Yugi. Mokuba started to cry again. "I want my Big Brother back!!" he sobbed. "He is drifting father and father away from me. We never do anything together anymore. I just want-want him-" "There, there Mokuba." Comforted Yugi, "It will be fine, it is just a stage." "Ya!" said Joey. "Mizu will realize how much a jerk- I mean PERSON, Kaiba is and will break up with him." "I don't think so." Replied Mokuba unaware at what Joey said about his brother, "Mizu is apart of the problem." "What?" asked Tea. "Ya, it seems that she wants Seto all for herself and wants nothing to do with me." "But wasn't Mizu ya friend in the past?" asked Joey. "People can change over time." Said Triston. Mokuba nodded. "Then we will have to talk to Mizu herself!" said Yugi. "YA!" said Tea. "Come on, the rain storm had passed by, lets go to Mizu's House!! The group got out of the shop and ran to the house.

~Yugi, I sense some bad vibes coming from Mizu.~

"Like what Yami?"

~Ancient ones~

"From your time?"

~No, from a time much younger but still, this doesn't feel right~

"Ok, we will be cautious."



The group got to Mizu's house. "Hello, Mizu we need to talk to you." Called Mokuba outside the gate. "Ya we need to speak with ya!" called out Joey. There was no answer. "Hmm, maybe they are still on their date." Said Yugi. "Figures." Said Tea. An unexpected wind blew severely. As that happened, the group noticed that the front gate swung back and forth. "Hey lets go in." Said Triston. "Wouldn't that be TRESSPASING?!" asked Yugi. "She stole my brother away from me, I call it, EVEN." Mokuba said harshly. "Ok then." The group opened the front gate, they gasped at what they saw. "Um, are ya sure this is it?" asked Joey. "Yes, but this is nothing like what my brother told me," shivered Mokuba. The gate lead the group to a long winding path through a dry, barren land.
